Jermall Charlo, once dominant in the boxing ring, has been absent since his win over Juan Macias Montiel in 2021. The WBC’s unwavering support ensured Charlo retained his title as the middleweight champion despite the rise of interim champion Carlos Adames. Amid speculation, Charlo is now slated to face Jose Benavidez Jr. on November 25th, with the Showtime PPV event headlined by David Benavidez vs. Demetrius Andrade.
Benavidez, while sometimes overlooked, boasts a formidable record, including eleven national championships and being the youngest Golden Gloves champion. His only professional losses came against powerhouses Terence Crawford and Danny Garcia, setting up a thrilling contest against Charlo.
Charlo’s return isn’t just about one fight. With over two years away from the ring, he’s now training under boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. in Pensacola, Florida. His performance will not only determine his current prowess but also shape the future of the middleweight and super middleweight divisions.
November 25th marks more than just a bout; it’s a defining moment in Charlo’s career. As boxing enthusiasts await with bated breath, Charlo's comeback promises to reshape the boxing landscape.
